Amos 5:7-10
7For those who turn 1justice into wormwood And 2cast righteousness down to the earth.”
8He who made the 3Pleiades and Orion And 4changes deep darkness into morning, 5Who also 6darkens day into night, Who 7calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The 8Lord is His name.9It is He who 9flashes forth with destruction upon the strong, So that 10destruction comes upon the fortress.
10They hate him who 11reproves in the 12gate, And they 13abhor him who speaks with integrity.
